Daily Encouragement

We must not allow ourselves to become bureaucratic and take for granted the efforts of those working behind the scenes. Nor must we ever forget to be considerate of those members of our families who may not be practicing Nichiren Buddhism. We must remember that for every person involved in SGI activities there is another, supporting him or her behind the scenes.

Daily Quote

Trust is difficult to earn and it is easily lost—the trust built over a decade can be shattered in an instant by one offhanded remark or deed. A person who is not swayed from their chosen path, even during the most trying times, will ultimately find that he or she is trusted by all.

Daily Encouragement

What is the secret to victory? Mr. Toda once described that in a certain sense life is a gamble. “If you are lucky, you will win,” he said. “But if you are unlucky, then sometimes no matter how hard you try you lose. This is a hard fact.” That is why, in addition to ability, good fortune is essential. The key to creating good fortune is found in faith and daimoku. I hope that you will all act in accord with the fundamental Law of Buddhism and lead victorious lives filled with unsurpassed good fortune.
